Manchester City defender, Ruben Dias, has been awarded the Premier League Player of the Season.
Dias beat his team-mate Kevin De Bruyne and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane to the prize, following a sparkling debut in England.
It completes a double for Dias, who was named the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year last month.
The 24-year-old’s solid defensive displays helped Pep Guardiola’s team to storm clear at the top of the table during the second half of the season.
City kept 15 clean sheets in the 32 matches, conceding just 32 league goals all season – the fewest in the top-fligh
t.
Guardiola himself was named Manager of the Year.
The Spaniard landed the title for the third time in four years, only losing out to Liverpool last term.
